Andrew “Dice” Clay, the ’80s comic who once achieved rock-star status, has since fallen on hard times and hopes a new VH1 reality show about his life will help him reclaim his throne. Ultimately he’s shooting for a mega-sized comedy concert at Giants Stadium by this summer.

For a few years in the late 1980s, Dice was one of the most polarizing forces in show business. His raw, profanity-laced act was both lauded by fans and ripped as misogynistic by critics. By 1988 he was so popular he could sell out Madison Square Garden, but at the same time was blamed for poisoning pop culture. By the 1990s, his career had collapsed.

“My professional aim is to come out of retirement,” he says. “Although I never really retired.”

When the new show begins, he is lucky to fill a comedy club in New Brunswick, NJ and his agent tells him his dream of selling out Giants Stadium is pure “fantasy.” Other scenes include publishers rejecting his book proposals and fights with fiancé Eleanor Kerrigan, a former female wrestler.

Although the scenes in “Dice Undisputed” (Sunday at 10 p.m.) start about six months ago, when Clay was in the early stages of his attempt at a comeback, its roots go back about six years – when he began filming himself daily as a form of therapy. The show will occasionally dip into Dice’s personal stash of tapes for flashbacks.

“I went through a bad marriage like a lot of people do, and what I decided to do instead of chasing career goals was to stay in L.A. and raise my two boys,” he says. Max, 16 and Dillon, 12, are both from his second marriage. “I’ve always been into filming stuff and I started chronicling what I was feeling about the breakup and the emotions I was going through.”

He says he started giving the growing library of tapes different names, like “Dice Divorced” and “Dice World”

“As I was filming, I started turning it into a show, with my kids and my girlfriend and other comics that I knew. I wanted to show what really goes through the minds of comics, but it became something more personal than that.”
